Zhao Gou cannot be kept.
If he were to run to Jiangnan with a group of former officials of the Song Dynasty, it would be a very troublesome matter.
Just kill him.
"Old Prince, no matter what, we must bring Crown Prince Zhao Kan back. Only then can we use the Emperor to control the other princes."
"Crown Prince Zhao Kan?"
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Great! Why didn't I think of that?"
The ancients paid attention to legitimacy and the support of the people. In the eyes of the Song people, especially the literati, if you establish a new dynasty, it is equivalent to rebellion and treason, and everyone can kill you.
"Yin Shukena has been in charge of escorting Zhao Kan all the way. He is now in Zhengzhou and is preparing to cross the Yellow River. If we want to rescue him, we must act quickly."
Zhang Shixun frowned. Although Zhengzhou was more than a hundred miles away from Kaifeng, it was neither far nor near. Even if he rode at full speed, it would still take a day to get there.
Wang Dong looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark soon. How about this? I'll have the shuttle take you, Hei and Bai Wuchang over there. You can take advantage of the night to do your thing."
"Okay! I'll do as you say."
Crown Prince Zhao Kan must be brought back. Only by controlling him can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.
That night, fires broke out in Yin Shuke's camp, and deafening explosions were heard from time to time.
The Jin camp was in chaos, and the Jin soldiers were running around like headless flies.
The camp is in chaos.
Yin Shuke was shocked. He ordered his guards to suppress the incident while he personally led people to search for the culprit of the explosion.
Half an hour later, the culprit was not found, but fortunately the chaotic situation was under control and the camp became quiet.
When checking the captives, they discovered that the Crown Prince Zhao Kan of the Song Dynasty was missing.
Yin Shu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
There is no need to guess, it must be the masterpiece of that hateful Zhang Tianshi.
The purpose of kidnapping the crown prince was to help him ascend the throne and inherit the mantle of the Song Dynasty.
But Yin Shu couldn't care less about these things now, he just wanted to leave here quickly.
You can't afford to offend Zhang Shixun.
When fighting with him, I don’t know where to start.
He would throw thunder bombs at you at any time, making you dizzy.
I just want to ask you if you are afraid.
Yin Shu is really scared.
If I can't afford to offend you, I can just avoid you.
At dawn, Yin Shuke led his team to the bank of the Yellow River, hurriedly boarded the ferry and crossed the river first.
…
Zhang Shixun sent Yue Fei and Han Shizhong to pursue the Jin army respectively, hanging behind the Jin army and launching a surprise attack when they were not prepared, in order to get a piece of meat.
As for Zhang Shixun himself, he cannot leave the capital now. He is preparing to support Zhao Kan to take the throne. In addition, he also has to integrate the army in the capital.
According to preliminary statistics, there are still about 50,000 to 60,000 remaining imperial guards, in addition to the troops coming from all over the country to support the emperor.
They are not under the jurisdiction of each other, which can be said to be a mess.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianshi's appeal was strong. The leaders of the imperial guards and the wing troops did not dare to delay after receiving Zhang Shixun's military order and came to report quickly.
Wang Dong was also not idle. He immediately set up military equipment monitoring, counted the supplies, and called the craftsmen together. Each workshop selected a temporary person in charge and began to produce weapons and equipment in a planned manner.
In just a few days, explosives and kerosene were put into production.
No delay at all.
Ten days later, ministers such as Li Gang and Zong Ze returned to the capital one after another.
They all returned to Beijing at Zhang Shixun's invitation.
Afterwards, Zhao Kan ascended the throne and officially became the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shixun served as regent and prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that the actual head of the Song Dynasty was Zhang Shixun, and Emperor Zhao Kan was just a coward.
After Zhang Shixun came to power, he worked hard to govern the country and carried out drastic reforms to government agencies. In accordance with the government agencies of later generations, he established the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health, etc., with a complete range of categories, and then he could talk about it later.
Wang Dong served as Minister of Industry and Director of the Intelligence Bureau.
Li Gang is appointed Minister of Justice.
Zong Ze was appointed Minister of Agriculture.
…
After a series of appointments, everyone followed the procedures and started to get busy.
The invasion of the Jin army dealt the Song Dynasty an unprecedented blow, and everything was in ruins.
Zhang Shixun was fully focused on reorganizing his army. Based on the original imperial guards and wing troops, he eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, leaving only 300,000 regular troops.
As for the officers, they were all gathered in the capital for training.
For this purpose, a military academy was specially established, and these officers naturally became the first batch of students.
Wang Dong was also busy. He moved the micro-factory he brought from the shuttle, established a precision manufacturing plant, and began producing industrial mother machines.
With power in hand, all the resources in the country can be deployed.
Machinery factories and chemical plants were established one after another.
The grand production began.
Li Shishi joined the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Culture and was responsible for propaganda work.
Zhang Shixun had heavy responsibilities on his shoulders and was busy with state affairs every day. He was almost always busy with state affairs during the day. Only at night could he meet Li Shishi and Ding Dusai.
During this period, the Jin army continued to send troops to harass, but they were all blocked by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
The two are indeed famous generals.
More than a year passed like this, and after hard work, the new army of the Song Dynasty finally made its debut.
It is completely modeled after the military system of later generations.
A total of ten armies were established, each with 20,000 to 30,000 men, and each army was equipped with an artillery regiment.
As for weapons and equipment, at least three armies were equipped with primitive rifles and grenades, and the artillery regiment was equipped with simple rocket launchers and mortars.
In order to produce these weapons, Wang Dong was almost exhausted to death and almost all his hair fell out.
Everything was ready, and Zhang Shixun turned his attention to the north.
